Tales from the Trenches: I felt a little bit Catholic at the doctor today.

I went to the doctor today for a follow-up to the lovely quick clinic visit I had.  Dr. W- came in and did his, "Hey!  What's going on today?"  I felt like I was at confession.

"Dr. W-, I was so sick.  I've been sick since last Tuesday.  I ran a fever from Tuesday evening through Sunday night.  I was so desperate on Saturday that I went to a quick clinic at the grocery." 

"Oh, that's okay."

"You don't understand.  I feel like I cheated.  Besides, my husband said that he was rather certain that you would laugh at the story that I need to tell you."

I proceeded to tell him about the very nice, but very uncertain doctor that I visited.  I told him about going from mystery illness to mono to sinus infection, then onto upper respiratory infection.  I added the ums and hmmms in there.  He was very kind to tell me the difference with just swollen glands and mono swollen glands.  He talked to me about what I had, was slightly impressed by the high number I rolled and to which he added, "It made you feel like you had a bus run over you, right?  You just couldn't get enough blankets on you, huh?" "Obviously, I did."  "But no matter what you did, you were still freezing." Amen to that my brother.

Apparently, there is a viral upper respiratory bit that is running about and that is what I cashed in on. 

So, I love my doctor.  Love him.  He sent me off with a pat on the back and chuckle and this parting line, "Did you at least get Fuel Perks with that?" 

I think he was still laughing when I walked out.

Smiles in my day:
-  PRAISE JESUS!  I finally feel human.  I'm also now starved from having not really eaten anything from Thurs - Sun. 
-  K- had science camp today and loved it.  They worked on simple machines.

Please pray that my husband and child don't fall victim to the wretchedness that knocked me flat for 3 1/2 days. 

Have a great day!
